Human efforts to produce more food for increasing populations leave marks on the
environment. The use of conventional agricultural practices, including intensive tillage …

Elevating levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), primarily driven by the burning of
fossil fuels, combustion of organic matter, and unsustainable land practices, have amplified …

Although diversifying crop rotations with perennials and cover crops and implementing no-
tillage practices has been promoted as an effective strategy for increasing soil carbon and …

Although soil C sequestration with cover crops (CCs) has been linked with the potential of
CCs in climate change mitigation, the long-term usage of CCs on soil C storage and farm …

Soil quality can be inferred from some physical, chemical and biological soil indicators, and
it may be changed under the influence of land use change. In this regard, in order to achieve …

Abstract Knowledge on the influence of land use practices on soil quality is crucial to
develop soil-specific management practices. In order to quantify soil quality index of different …

This study aimed to establish a soil quality index (SQI) using factor analysis (FA) and
network analysis (NA) techniques for the assessment of soil quality after deforestation in …

Cover crops are widely advocated for increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) levels, thereby
benefiting soil health improvement and climate change mitigation. Few regional-scale …

The soil quality is the inherent capacity of soils to function in an ecosystem, which depend
on soil properties and change under the influence of landscape patterns. This study aimed …

Increasing crop diversity via cover cropping is considered a powerful strategy to improve soil
health; thus, a better understanding of the impacts on soil is crucial. In northern semi-arid …
